Article Synopsis
  • Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute illness in young children that leads to serious heart complications, primarily through platelet hyperactivity and an abnormal immune response.
  • Researchers identified a feedback loop involving platelets and monocytes, where their interaction activates inflammatory processes that worsen KD symptoms.
  • Targeting specific proteins and cytokines in this feedback loop could offer new diagnostic and treatment strategies for managing the vascular damage caused by KD.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a condition characterized by acute multi-system vasculitis and high fever in infants and children. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the established therapeutic approach of KD,foralleviating inflammation and mitigate the risk of arterial wall dilation and the development of coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). But almost 20% of the patients developed resistance to IVIG and displayed persistent fever after standard primary treatment.

Sepsis is a severe systemic reaction disease induced by bacteria and virus invading the bloodstream and subsequently causing multiple systemic organ dysfunctions. For example, the kidney may stop producing urine, or the lungs may stop taking in oxygen. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are related to the dysfunction of organs in sepsis.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis primarily affecting infants and children. Activated platelets predispose patients to coronary artery structural lesions that may lead to thrombotic cardiovascular events. To discover potential proteins underlying platelet activation in KD, we conducted a protein chip assay of 34 cytokines and discovered thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was aberrantly expressed, which remained elevated after intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) treatment and during convalescence in KD patients in comparison to healthy controls.

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile systemic vasculitis affecting infants and young children. A high dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the first-line strategy for patients with KD to reduce persistent inflammation and the risk of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation. Unfortunately, 10-20% of the patients showed no response to the treatment and were defined as resistant to IVIG.

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) was one of the most common primary vasculitis. IVIG resistance was associated with an increased risk of coronary artery aneurysm. Accumulating evidences demonstrated that inflammatory gene polymorphisms might play important roles in IVIG resistance, and zinc finger proteins were closely related to immune inflammation regulation, but the effect of /rs8113807 and /rs2571051 on IVIG resistance in KD patients has not been reported.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vascular disease complicated by coronary artery injury. Although polymorphisms in prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 () are being increasingly explored in cardiovascular diseases, little is known regarding the connection between polymorphisms and KD risk. We evaluated 834 KD patients and 1474 healthy controls to explore the relationship between polymorphisms (rs1330344 and rs5788) and KD risk.

Background: Sepsis is a highly life-threatening heterogeneous syndrome and a global health burden. Studies have shown that many genetic variants could influence the risk of sepsis. Long non-coding RNA may participate in functional alteration of endothelial cell vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, whereas its relevance between the polymorphism and sepsis susceptibility is still unclear.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited vasculitis disorder of unknown etiology in children. Immunologic abnormalities were detected during the acute phase of KD, which reflected that the effect cells of the activated immune system markedly increased cytokine production. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy is effective in resolving inflammation from KD and reducing occurrence of coronary artery abnormalities.

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited febrile illness of unknown cause. And it predominantly affects children <5 years and the main complication is coronary artery lesion (CAL). Studies demonstrated that vascular endothelial cells (VECs) played a very important role in the CAL of KD.

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that several microRNA (miRNA) polymorphisms are closely associated with disease susceptibility or progression, such as in Kawasaki disease (KD). Our previous studies revealed the association of miR-149 rs2292832 T>C and miR-196a2 rs11614913 C>T polymorphisms with KD susceptibility. The present study further focused on the relationship between three miRNA polymorphisms (miR-149 rs2292832 T>C, miR-196a2 rs11614913 C>T and miR-499a rs3746444 A>G) and the risk of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in southern Chinese KD patients.

Background: Plenty of studies have indicated that some genetic polymorphisms of the breast cancer which associated with its susceptibility may also be related to the susceptibility of abortion. MIR2052HG plays an important role in the onset and progression of breast cancer by maintaining the level of ERα, but to the best of our knowledge, the correlation between risk of recurrent abortion and MIR2052HG rs3802201 C>G polymorphism is still unclear. Therefore, we conducted this case-control study to investigate whether MIR2052HG rs3802201 C>G polymorphism is associated with susceptibility of recurrent miscarriage (RM).

Background: The main symptoms of Kawasaki disease (KD) are inflammatory vasculitis characterized by fever lasting 1-2 weeks, failure to respond to antibiotic treatment, conjunctivitis, redness of the lips and mouth, strawberry tongue, and painless enlargement of the neck lymph nodes. Studies have been shown that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF receptor family members are abnormally expressed in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease, also revealing that these two play a significant role in the pathogenesis of KD. The purpose of our study is to determine the relationship between and the pathogenesis of KD and Coronary artery lesions in KD.

Background: A large number of studies demonstrated that the key to the occurrence and development of Kawasaki disease (KD) is the over-activation of immune cells and the generation of various inflammatory factors, leading to the imbalance of the immune system. Recently, mutations in the FNDC1 gene have been shown to be associated with inflammatory responses. However, there have been no reports on the relationship between FNDC1 gene and KD so far.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common cardiovascular disease in infants and young children, with fever, rash, and conjunctivitis as the main clinical manifestations, which can lead to the occurrence of coronary aneurysms. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the preferred treatment for KD patients, but 10-20% of patients are resistant to IVIG. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA2) is a potential therapeutic target for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, and the polymorphism of Phospholipase A2 Group VII () is closely related to the activity of Lp-PLA2, of which rs1051931 is the strongest.
